SSRS 2017 Cascading parameters with dates












0














I have a parameter called Year and you can choose one year at a time. I have a date/time parameter with a calendar called start date and another one called end date.



I would like it to work such that if I pick the year to be 2017 it will show the calendar start and end dates for 2017.



Since my start date and end date parameters are not defaulted from a dataset I am not sure how to control that.



Any help will be appreciated.

  • I assume you mean you want to default the start and end date parameters and that the user can then modify them? i.e. the Year parameter is a quick way to set start and end dates?

You can do it as an expression, but as its easier in SQL you can just create a second dataset with the following:



select convert(date, '1 jan ' + convert(varchar(4), @Year)), dateadd(day, -1, dateadd(year, 1, convert(date, '1 jan ' + convert(varchar(4), @Year))))

    I used a recursive CTE common table expression that references itself to solve this. Then you can set the Dataset of the start_date and end_date parameters.



    Dataset for the default values of the start and end date parameters



    DECLARE @year AS INT
    SET @year = 2018

    SELECT [start_date] = DATEFROMPARTS(@year, 1, 1), [end_date] = DATEFROMPARTS(@year, 12, 31)


    Dataset for the available values of the start and end date parameters



    DECLARE @year AS INT
    SET @year = 2018

    ;WITH
    source_data_dates
    AS
    (
    SELECT
    [date_start] = DATEFROMPARTS(@year, 1, 1)
    , [date_end] = DATEFROMPARTS(@year, 12, 31)
    )
    ,
    year_date_list([rn], [date_value])
    AS
    (
    SELECT
    [rn] = 1
    , [date_value] = CAST([date_start] AS DATETIME)
    FROM
    source_data_dates
    UNION ALL
    SELECT
    [rn] = [rn] + 1
    , [date_start] = CAST(DATEADD(DAY, [rn], [date_start]) AS DATETIME)
    FROM
    year_date_list
    , source_data_dates
    WHERE
    [rn] <= DATEDIFF(DAY, [date_start], [date_end])
    )
    SELECT
    [rn]
    , [date_value]
    FROM
    year_date_list
    OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0)
